Hay

The commute between Red Wing and Rochester is very therapeutic, especially between Zumbrota and Red Wing.

The first hay crop was taken last week.  These are small bales, so it is probably a boutique hay for horses.

Fish Market

A recent business trip took us to Seattle.  We were selling new products, pitching new ideas and creating new partnerships.

Space Needle

Seattle is experiencing significant growth. It may have started with Microsoft 25 years ago, but it is now being fueled by Amazon.

Sign-1

We stayed in the Capital Hill district, which is in the middle of all of the action.  It is very expensive to stay in a hotel, so AirBnB is a welcomed alternative.

Sign-3

Most everywhere is walkable from Capital Hill, but if it isn’t, Uber is a terrific shared economy transportation means.

Skillet

The food in Seattle is fantastic and an upscale, yet informal recommendation is the Skillet Diner.

Shoe Museum

Seattle is not without kitschy, and this photo was taken for the benefit of our friends at the Red Wing Shoe Company.

Thoms

We first started working with Matt eight years ago when he was a senior in high school. He only needed mats cut because he was building his own frames.

But he wasn’t just building his own frames. He was milling his own frame profiles and staining and waxing the wood. His attention to detail was remarkable and his skill as a carpenter was undeniable.

Matt has since graduated from college, gotten married and has two children. But he still maintains a very complete wood shop. As Matt puts it, “shop time is good time”.

And when it came time to have custom cabinetry built for the new Rochester location, it was an easy decision.

Whitey-tightie

It has taken a long time (too long) to get the new shop to this point.

This point is the point in which we can begin tailoring the space to our design aesthetic.

The goal will be to create a design environment that is comfortable and simple.

It shouldn’t be too much longer.

Is it vain to get excited to see your name in a magazine article?

I hope not.

Anyway, we been blessed with some terrific press this last week and we got excited.

Click on the magazine cover or click here for the complete article.

There are a lot of reasons to love this video.  It’s original and authentic.

It looks like it was filmed in the backyard of a party barbeque.

And that only adds to the charm.
